@nzzp Yet we're still 4 wins out of 10.
Better than 4/16 last year.
And look past the wins. I think we're playing better, I can see structure, adn building. There is change there -- but it's taking longer to get wins
@nzzp Fair enough but I don't see it myself. This team just reminds me of the first 2 years under Tana where we're competitive but lack in the technical aspects up front. Jackson copped plenty of criticism for our failure at set piece time yet Coventry hasn't seemed to make any improvement in that area.

Nah, pedantic and the Blues just kept giving him reasons to be the center of attention. As I said, stupid.

Modern rugby, no scrum no win.
I swear watching the brumbies sucks life out of you
They're such a limited team. Perfect fit for their fans and location.

@Siam Unless your the Canes (until they play the Crusaders).

@African-Monkey initially he did, but we have gone backwards. Be interesting to see how the coaches respond.
@Kirwan I just can't see this team going anywhere until we sort out our set piece. It's cost us so many games over the years.

The Blues just can't dictate a game. I mean the Brumbies were just waiting for penalties to get them up the field and then relying on their scrum. You can't complain if your scrum is that bad and you lose. You just can't. Yet the Blues still could have won if they got a more open game. The Blues lost but I don't think the Brumbies actually played any rugby. They just did what they had to. Shit way to lose.

Come on did I hit a sensitive spot they will,your forward pack is a joke take your glasses off
Your shit up front can’t beat better teams with that rabble -

True but how many All Blacks do you need to have a good tight five? You should have enough there already. Obviously your scrum is normally better than that. The Hurricanes have a much worse tight five but we are better at playing to our strengths even if we are getting found out.

Was listening to the radio commentary on the way back from Hamilton...thank god I did not get to see that on the box..season over me thinks..was Akira Ioane playing...?
@Steven-Harris There was a long period where all we did was defend. He was involved in all that.

Yeah him and Ofa in particular where man handling people. Goal line defence was great.
Scrums and mauls were the massive, massive problem. And Black missed a couple of easy kicks.

@hydro11 As I said earlier Jackson couldn't sort it and now Coventry seems to have made no difference so far as well.
